Are octopuses and Squids the same animal?
No, octopuses and squids have a different shaped body. The octopus has a round head.
Both animals have suction cups on their tenticles.
Squids can grow to enormous sizes while octopuses can't grow very big.
A squid can grow more than 60 feet.
Can an octopus or squid swim?
Yes, but instead of using fins they use jetpower produced by a chamber in their body.
They fill the chamber with water and when it is full they shut it.
Then it uses special muscles to force the water out tube called a funnel.
As the water rushes out it swiftly moves forward.
